Security forces raid apartment complex in Karachi

KARACHI, Nov. 1, 2004

Security forces, backed by at least one helicopter, raided an apartment complex in Karachi today, and intelligence officials said they could be trying to capture an important Al Qaeda figure. Government and security officials refused to comment after witnesses saw a military helicopter hovering over apartment buildings under construction in Gulistan-e-Johar. Troops cordoned off the area and prevented people from entering. An intelligence source, who declined to be identified, said the raid could be aimed at capturing an important al Qaeda figure. He refused to give further details. (Reuters)

It was probably a mistake for Osama to hold a Kerry victory block party.

A Kerry-Edwards bumper sticker was spotted on a vehicle entering the compound.

If Osama the Camel Humper gets picked up the night before the election, even Dubya might not be able to deadpan his way through that announcement.

I don't see Ol' Sammy hanging out in Karachi, or anyplace he's not near a tunnel complex, and fellow crazies who love him to the death. Could be Zawahiri, but I get the feeling that Sadam's trusted counselor would never leave his bosses side. I suppose we can all pray for a miracle.

Maybe Osama ordered a falafel to be delivered and gave the driver a bad tip. He looked a little thin in that video.

I think Zawahiri is a better guess or someone right below him maybe.
